No. It is not backwards compatible. Or at least it wasn't the last time I heard...

Went to PAX Australia today, watched the Microsoft conference/presentation for the Xbox One.

I am goddamn glad I already pre-ordered it. I am pumped as shit.

On a side note, don't think anyone needs to reply now.
The answer to this question as far as we know, is No.

Why! A PC can be built which is better for the same price.

wuzzy311 unfortunately they are not backwards compatible. One reason would be it would be unfair advantage and the other is that the new CPU has a different architecture to the Xbox 360. This is why Xbox 360 games have to be heavily ported to PC and if you have ever play GTA IV on PC you would understand what a bad port was from the Xbox 360 but the Xbox One runs a similar architecture to a PC now so it should be easier to port across now.

I don't even play PC and I'd rather get a PC over a console. I'm probably sticking with 360 though.

The way they presented it was just awesome. They showed off some of the most anticipated games with unreleased gameplay, which really excited me. You might say that now, but when you're in there... Oh god. Best time evar.

A fancy show doesn't make it a great console. If you were at the PS4 stand instead you would probably say the same about that. I wan't a Xbox One but not the Kinect Requirement (that's a BIG NO for me). I just want a console and for £100 less than it is now.

This ^. I might be more willing to buy it if they didn't force me to buy something I will NEVER​ use.
